Melekhina-Zatonskih is on move 56 and still going as of a few second ago. Melekhina has about 4 minutes left plus the increment, Zatonskih had a little over 2 minutes plus increment.
Krush-Rohanyan 1-0
Foisor-Baginskaite 1/2 - 1/2
Zenyuk-Abrahamyan 0-1
Marshall-Marinello 1/2 - 1/2
As expected, Krush defeated Rohanyan, but it looks like she had her hands full to do it! Abby Marshall gets on the score board with a draw. Abrahamyan is continuing her winning ways and she's going to be right there at the end -- she's only 1/2 point behind current leader Krush. Zatonskih must win this game to keep pace with Krush - at least as of the end of R4.
Sure is shaping up to an interesting championship. I just took a look at Melekhina-Zatonskih - they are moving very quickly now. Melekhina has 3:26, Zatonskih 3:10. Rooks were traded and are off the board. Zatonskih has 2 pawns to Melekhina's 1, Melekhina has a black squares bishop, Zatonskih has a knight. It's pretty obvious Zatonskih is trying desperately for a win, but short of Melekhina making a blunder, it looks like a draw to me.
